[ RadSafe ] LOBA Accidents -- Wind Turbine Failures Strike Again

[Stabin, Michael]

'LOBA' was a wonderful classic piece. I think I squirreled away a copy somewhere. In practice (notwithstanding hypothetical plane accidents and such) so called 'alternative' energy sources are in many ways hugely environmentally unfriendly, but no one wants to talk about it.

Hi all,

Fun for a Friday afternoon.   Attached are a few links about an older  
fatal accident, and 2 recent windmill accidents a few months ago for those  
who are interested in alternate energy impacts. If not interested, please  
delete this email and all attachments. It's too hot for flaming.
